The recent White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union sets out the UK\u2019s proposal for a UK-EU free trade area, underpinned by a common rulebook on industrial goods. This covers all rules that set the requirements for placing a product on the market, including environmental requirements, as are necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border. This would include the type approval system for all categories of motor vehicles and would ensure that the UK and the EU adhere to the same emission standards for cars, vans and heavy duty vehicles.<\/p>

The Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 sets out a prescribed alcohol limit for people involved in aviation activities, including flight crew. The Act authorises the police to test flight crew for drugs and alcohol after accidents or incidents, or with due cause at any other time.<\/p>

<\/p>

Under European aviation safety regulations, all UK Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders should have a drug and alcohol policy, as part of their Safety Management System. Trained staff carry out screening tests usually by mouth swab, breath, blood, hair or urine sample. A confirmed positive result should be reported to the Civil Aviation Authorities medical department. The Civil Aviation Authority publishes guidance for AOC holders on drug and alcohol policies, including testing, which can be found at www.caa.co.uk/cap1686<\/a>.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-23T13:39:12.737Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Aviation: Alcoholic Drinks and Drugs"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what rules are in place for the testing of (a) drugs and (b) alcohol consumption by commercial pilots.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/534", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Ruane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Clwyd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Ruane"} ], "uin" : "164894"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/943114", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/943114/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Technical standards for noise from new motorcycles are set at an International level by both the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). These provisions were updated in 2014 and took effect for new machines from 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further independent research funded by the European Commission has established the potential for further noise limit reductions and the Commission is proposing that these should take effect in 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

The motorcycle industry is represented at the UNECE discussions and Department for Transport officials also hold routine discussions with it outside this forum.<\/p>

<\/p>

Once in service, UK regulations require exhausts and silencers to be maintained in good working order and not altered so as to increase noise. In addition, replacement exhaust silencers are required to be marked to show compliance with relevant requirements, and silencers intended for off road use have to be marked to indicate this. Silencers that do not comply with these requirements, or are marked \u201cnot for road use\u201d, may not be used on the road.<\/p>

<\/p>

During the annual MOT test exhausts and silencers are checked, and a motorcycle should fail if it emits noise that is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar motorcycle with a standard silencer in average condition.<\/p>

<\/p>

Outside the MOT the police have powers to take action if they suspect the exhaust has been altered, or if the machine is making excessive noise which could be avoided through reasonable rider care.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is commissioning research into other ways to support police and highway authorities in combating and enforcing against excessive noise.<\/p>

National Grid published their 2018 Future Energy Scenarios on 12 July (http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1363/fes-interactive-version-final.pdf<\/a>), and previously produced a bespoke note on the electricity system impacts of electric vehicles (http://fes.nationalgrid.com/media/1264/ev-myth-buster-v032.pdf<\/a>). The level of impact that National Grid presents is readily manageable by the electricity system. The Government is analysing these impacts, including in relation to costs, and has established an Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce in order to consider these issues.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-24T14:46:05.377Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the cost of reinforcing the electricity National Grid to cater for the demands created by the Road to Zero policy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/318", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Spellar"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "John Spellar"} ], "uin" : "164853"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?date=2018-07-17&_page=1&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Hereford+and+South+Herefordshire&max-questionFirstAnswered.=2018-07-25T12%3A40%3A16.767Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 18, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
